The prior ‘religious exemption’ remained in place but that has now also been abolished and only exemptions on medical grounds will continue. “The religious exemption, for the Church of Christ, Scientist which has been in place since 1998, has been closed by the Coalition Government after it was found not to be current or necessary,” Mr Tehan said. “As part of our no jab no pay’ policy, immunisation requirements for the payment of FTB Part A end-of-year supplement will also be extended to include children of all ages. Currently vaccination status is only checked at ages 1, 2 and 5 years.” Along with a ‘stick’ in the form of welfare and tax benefit denial, the Government is also offering a ‘carrot’. Mr Tehan said $26 million Immunise Australia budget package would help keep busy parents in Wannon keep their child’s vaccinations up to date and dispel common myths about immunisations. Immunisation providers, such as local GPs, will be given an incentive payment to identify children in their practice overdue for vaccinations and catch them up. “We’re a government that understands the stresses busy parents face every day and that many missed immunisations are unintentional, which is why we’re providing incentives and support to help keep children up to date with their vaccinations,” Tehan said. Mr “But there are parents intent on refusing to immunise their child and our ‘no jab, no play, no pay’ measure ensures they understand there is a significant price attached TESSA HAYWARD Sneak peak at refurbishments THE Hamilton Library will be closed to undertake refurbishments from May 8-20.

The project intends to deliver a high impact result on a modest budget. Staff members are looking forward to providing customer service in a re-invigorated space and are looking forward to developing future project ideas. Library services manager, Sarah Stephens said she was excited that the works were finally taking place. “We were successful in receiving funding from the State Government’s Living Libraries Infrastructure Program late last year toward this project and we are so pleased to see it all coming together,” Ms Stephens said. to their actions. “Immunisations don’t just protect your child, but others as well - it’s known in medical terms as ‘herd immunity’. Vaccination is therefore one area of life where it pays to be part of the crowd.” There has been a growing anti-vaccination movement in Australia that has fuelled a resurgence in diseases that been almost eliminated by childhood vaccination. “The choice made by families not to immunise their children is not supported by public policy or medical research nor should such action be supported by taxpayers in the form of child care payments,” Mr Tehan said.
